Spontaneous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation or lactofermentation of cereal grains (LFC) are performed under an acidic condition and a moisture content not <60% (Castellone et al., 2021;Yasar et al., 2016;Yasar & Gok, 2014) to obtain functional food or feed products with improved technological, nutritional and functional properties. Additionally, LFC products are composed of probiotic bacteria, organic acids, prebiotics, and enzymes (Gok, 2021;Peraza & Perron, 2022), and have significant health benefits in both animals and humans (Castellone et al., 2021;Yasar et al., 2016;Yasar & Gok, 2014). During fermentation, an appreciable amount of organic acids is produced, and this inevitably reduced the substrate pH, thereby preventing food spoilage (Caplice
